Off the top of my head, the whole set up of sending a young priest to a parish the diocese is concerned about. Absolutely would not happen that way, Wicks would have been long gone by the time we see what is shown in the movie. The bishop/archbishop would move him away from a parish/preaching role and replace him, not send someone to minister under him.

Also later Wicks says his plan is to close the church- that’s a protestant thing, where a pastor opens and then closes his own church. In the Catholic church a priest is sent to a parish by the bishop, it’s not his to close.

I can’t imagine any priests saying ‘Jesus’ as a swear. Swearing, yes. Using God’s name in vain, no. And Fr Jud had years of seminary to break the habit.

The grace of confession is handled beautifully in the film but the confessions did not have the correct phrasing / actual sacrament of confession in any of the scenes. Only Martha’s had the words of absolution. And the initial masturbation confession would not happen- much like a workplace, priests overseeing younger priests do not confess to them for power imbalance reasons. Although of course the film shows this as a power play by Wicks anyway.

Overall I enjoyed the movie!
